This is good theory’s 100th episode. Congratulations !!🎊

[lorddragonskin]

I'm starting to get convinced food theory was made just so MatPat can eat food while classifying it as a business expense.

[davidalan]

I always wondered why they never make a “double-wide” Twix, making one that’s the size of both in one bar. I wonder if there’d be a negative difference to changing the width as apposed to just the length (fun size for example)

[anonymus]

Matpat just walked up to random people, gave them a twix, and wrote down notes as they ate. Talk about dedication, respect to this man

[ChipDrewPog]

2:00 I was just about to go "That's just the TF2 lore" but then MatPat does it for me, well played.

You ever notice the descriptions of the cookie, caramel, and chocolate on the packaging of left and right Twix are different? 3:02
Left Twix: crunchy cookie, delicious caramel, creamy chocolate
Right Twix: crispy cookie, luscious caramel, smooth chocolate

I remember hearing "the first bite of an apple always tastes the best" a lot when I was a kid. I always thought it was just because your taste buds weren't ready or used to the flavor yet.

“Life is pain”

Most relatable Food Theory quote so far

[pengil]

I’ve only ever eaten the miniature ones so I’ve always just associated left vs right as a joke.

[itsjohn_nugget]

If the people who tasted the bars didn’t drink water or anything to get the Twix taste out of their mouth before eating the second bar, then the test would be biased because if you already eat something sweet and don’t cleanse the pallet, then the next bite will overall be less sweet.

[ScorpionTamer]

"It was a left Twix! Coming out of a package of two right Twix..." Had me laughing way harder than it should have

[emmett_]

It’s a marketing strategy to try to get people to believe things just like this, which gets you to think more about twixes, and it’s working perfectly!

[matthewscorner]

"And then we opened the boxes... and a slow dread washed over me" gave me such Austin energy. That is his exact tone when he finds a new wrinkle that has him staying up for even more days on end to try to rationalize how something physically works in a game.

[theduke]

My favorite part of the twix campaign is they literally created a weird and pointless rivalry just to make people talk about them, and it actually worked

[Delta_Lupus]

2:40 i think that this is actually a meta joke to show that they really are so interchangeable that even the people who produce them and are hard core members of a side dont really know the difference

[ddropeverythingnw]

I laughed so hard at the cascaded and flowed part

[darthdabious]

I was a cashier and the follows was a real encounter.
*middle aged woman walked up to the counter with two left wtix in her left hand, and two right Twix in her right hand*
"Can you tell me which side had more carmel?"
I said I think it was just a marketing ploy....

[Raiyanking]

Twix : how do we make a rival without any actual challange
Twix : allow us to introduce ourselves ladies and gentlemen

[chaddangersexhaver]

I've wondered if it would be possible to permenently stain your tongue a certain color using stuff like slushies and ice pops.
Don't know if it's worth a food theory but it would be cool.

[ivydanner]

I can just imagine mat pat coming out a van with no windows saying “ DO YOU WANT TWIX?” And handing people unwrapped candy, definitely not the description of what people tell their kids to stay away from😊
